A bit. Are you set up as an LLC? Rather than setting up an agency, I’d just freelance the right resources, take a little extra for overhead and guard against scope creep.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Hi guys

Recently my company has added a new component in salary which has increased overall CTC of every employee.

We've not received any revised salary breakup only an official email stating everyone's CTC is increased. Started receiving salary based on the updated CTC.

When trying to make a switch, new firm is asking for revised salary breakup but I've shared the email screenshot along with my salary slips showing my increased salary. But HR said she needs updated salary breakup.

Post 3% Conference and me and the other people at my agency who actually care about inclusion would love to start something that builds camaraderie while also raising awareness for those who are “too busy in the day to day” to care/think about this stuff.

Hi creatives! I need your help here. A quick background:

Junior copywriter based in Toronto here. Came to Canada about a year ago and did an internship at Klick Health.

Once it ended in late August, they didn't take on ANY intern full time. Been job searching for the past 3 months. Would really appreciate any leads/insight on some entry level gig or internship that might be available in this city. I know it's year end and it's hard, but I am still hopeful as I have seen people still get hired.

Does your agency have a international ghetto? A hive of employees, usually not of color, from Scandinavia, Australia, Brazil etc who are paid less than market can’t leave due to visas codes?

I'll let it simmer here before posting in the regular Job Postings bowl:

I need a mid-level AD/CW team for a household name well known brand at a network agency. It'd be ideal if in Chicago, but can be remote.

Also, need a very senior writer who's maybe ready to grow into an ACD role.

Minorities strongly encouraged to apply. Slide into my DMs if interested.

Thanks!
